Good An understandably well-handled first edition copy of extracts from Louisa Lady de Rothschild's notebooks edited and inscribed by her daughter the society hostess temperance campaigner and philanthropist Constance Flower Lady Battersea to her fellow benefactor Mary Boreham the founder of Orotava Library now known as the English Library Tenerife: "in remembrance of memories in common Villa dei Cipressi Varenna May 13. 1913". The philanthropic pair seem then to have met and forged a connection during a visit to Varenna Lake Como Italy. Now known as the British Library of Puerto de la Cruz the Orotava Library began life in the eclectic book collection that Mary and Walter Boreham brought with them to Tenerife in 1890 and began to lend to fellow British expats living in the Orotava area. The Library opened in 1903 and upon Mrs. Boreham's death in 1917 it received her private collection of 4000 books. A book sale followed at some point with other books being lost to the climate.
